About Longney Church of England Primary Academy

Longney Church of England Primary Academy is a small village school where parental satisfaction appears strong. In its most recent admissions round for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 20 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.22. Seven of those applications were first-preference choices, and seven offers were made to first-preference families, suggesting that for those who want a place here, it is often their top pick. The school is a state-funded primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with a Church of England character, and is led by headteacher Heather Francis. With only 65 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, the school is not full, yet the oversubscription indicates that demand from local families outstrips supply. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in February 2024, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in 2013.
